17th & 18th March Day 49 & 50

Left Rapid Bay and headed north. Stopped along the way at lookouts.
Found a few op shops to play in at Yankalilla. Had a nice swim at Aldinga Beach. It was getting late so we cruised around looking for a sneaky free camp. In the end we parked in a carpark which didn't have one of those no camping signs. Had a nice quiet night there.
Up early moved down the road to Port Willunga Beach. Sal swam and I walked, after my cup of tea, then I tea bagged. Water still nice.

Great view over Southport Beach of the Alkaparinga River heading out to sea. 
Stopped at Port Noarlunga and wandered out along the jetty. So cool you could take your snorkels and go down steps at end of wharf and explore the 1.6km reef. 

Coffee called with the biggest croissant and jam. 

Back to civilisation and a big Woolies shop with a pitstop at Liquorland. 

Onto the West Park caravan park. Set up then a dip in the pool with 1000 kids. 
Sal went for an explore on her bike to Glenelg along the cycleway  while I did dinner. 
Found plenty  of restaurants if you were the rich and famous. 

Breeze died down a pleasant night. Looking forward to Elyse arriving tomorrow with Pip and Oli. 😀

Day 1.

Well after thinking we were getting away early to start the trip plans changed. After Sal did her laps at Woonona pool we had a great breakfast with all the family and Lous parents at the North Break Cafe at Woonona. Photos and a couple of tears from Sal and we got away about 10.30am.  Easy drive to Yass and Sal took over while I slept in the back.  Wandered around Gundagai in some reasonable heat decided on Criterion Pub for pizza later and chilling in van.  Lost my horn as we were farewelling Oreste so maintenance starts already. Otherwise all going well.  Click on the link and hopefully a video will appear thanks to Leanne and her brains trust. Gundagai Free Camp https://youtube.com/shorts/lkXXHWhd0cQ?feature=shared

Day 2

Image
Quiet night with all fans blowing hard keeping it at an acceptable temperature. Early start along highway. Saw a truck rollover but he considerately went off the road to do it so no hold up. No one was injured. The driver was talking to the Police probably trying to convince him he didn't fall asleep on a straight stretch of road. All workers on hand at Holbrook painting the submarine. The submariners return every Australia day and paint her up. They stay in town and have a few drinks together at the local pub. Off to Echuca to hopefully find a spot by the river. The co-pilot wanted to do more driving so here she goes. Next to no traffic. It is a nice feeling to be on the 🛣️ again. Stopped in Rutherglen. Nice street to wander along. Old buildings interesting shops. Onto Murray Valley Highway and found our way to Chisties Beach on the Murray just out of Echuca. Found this great spot and waded in for a dip.  No serenity. It is filled with ski boats and jet skis, house bo...

Packing the motorhome a week out.

Image
 Well it is just a week away before we head off on our Biggest Trip ever. We are in the motorhome in Tassie for most of February. We are meeting friends at Geelong and doing some cycle rail trails for a few days.  After that we are exploring places along the coast towards the Nullabour. Then explore the areas towards the Margaret River Region.  We are leaving the motorhome at Perth Airport and pick up a car to travel up to Exmouth. Swim with Whale Sharks up there and snorkeling.  Back to Perth and fly over to Bali and meet the family there for a week. We are heading to another area in Bali for another week. From Perth we wander back exploring places we missed on the way.  We anticipate the trip will end back home in July.
